This poem is possibly my favourite poem from any writer – as a huge Poe fan I find the last verse in particular incredibly haunting.

One of the ultimate Gothic writers, Poe’s awe-inspiring work is renowned for its beauty and for his use of stark and vivid imagery. I think it is impossible to craft literary-themed necklaces without including Poe whom I admire on so many levels; I'm such a fan I even helped to design a "Nevermore" tattoo for my friend!

Full description

`Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting -

`Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!

Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!

Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door!

Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!'

Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting

On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;

And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,

And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor

Shall be lifted - nevermore!

- The Raven, Edgar Allen Poe

This beautiful hand-crafted necklace is inspired by a quote from Poe’s infamous Gothic poem “The Raven”. The quote nestles snugly in a silver-plated bezel cup, covered with a tiny glass dome. The pendant itself measures 15mm in diameter. The glass I have used is optical and as such it magnifies the miniature writing and creates a fascinating distortion effect when the pendant is viewed from different angles. I include with the pendant approx. 30 inches of black cord which can be adjusted.

This necklace is a must for any literary fan!

Thank you very much for taking the time to view this item; please feel free to ask questions or make suggestions; I love to hear your ideas!

Love,
